What a Great Time We Had!
** Friday, September 30, 2022
** Wedgwood Baptist Church, Fort Worth TX 76133
39 church librarians and staff came from all over Texas to the Fellowship. (about 25 church libraries represented) We had a terrific time!
We renewed acquaintances with folks we've known for years; we met new librarians who have never been to a conference like this.
We were inspired and encouraged by Nancy Urinack's presentation on the importance of church libraries for our churches and communities. She spoke from her heart both with the concern and the hope that she is experiencing. Thank you, Nancy.
After sharing a meal together, we shared ideas on topics and questions that every church librarian has. We all came away with options and solutions. Book lists were handed out. (We have most of them posted here.)
We finished by discussing the future of this kind of meeting. The consensus was: we will meet again, probably next year.
